Block-Level Scoping in ES 2015

Block-Level Scoping in ES 2015

Introduction: Scoping in JavaScript works little different compared to other languages. Without knowing this, many new and experienced developers have fallen prey to Scoping System in JavaScript. This is because of our coding habits in C#, Java or C++. The Problem: We usually create variables in for loop or if condition in a function and think that it will not be accessible outside that loop or…

Using external scope: ui-grid="gridOptions" class="grid" external-scopes="gridScope"> and defining the functions in that scope (literal) as…

Kick starting with Bot Development

Kick starting with Bot Development

They’re meant to help users achieve and/or complete a particular task. Bots can help users interact with a particular service or application without having to download a separate app or go to a specific Web site. Personal digital assistants like Cortana, Siri…

Why should we add “shim” for AngularJS when using Require.js?

Why should we add “shim” for AngularJS when using Require.js?

sadf In computer programming, a shim is a small library that transparently intercepts API calls and changes the arguments passed, handles the operation itself, or redirects the operation elsewhere.Shims typically come about when the behavior of an API changes, thereby causing compatibility issues for older applications that still rely on the older functionality. In these cases, the older API can…

Resetting sorting in ng-grid

Applying sorting to an ng-grid is like a cake walk in Angular JS. But it is little tricky if you want to show the ng-grid with default data (the order in which it loaded first). Here is a solution for it. Here I am taking a dropdown to change the sort order of the grid. So, I will be using ng-change of the dropdown to update the sort order in ng-grid. Default Order Name Age Division Here is the…

Permissions API for Web

Permissions API for Web - #HTML5

Till now, when you land on a site that needs your location, Chrome immediately pops up a little request at the top of the browser window, even though you may not even really know what the site is all about. Now, as a developer, if you’ve worked with the Geolocation API before, chances are you’ve wanted to check if you had permission to use Geolocation without causing a prompt. This simply wasn’t…

DevOps - a simple definition

DevOps – a simple definition

Just came across this simple and funny definition for DevOps on web and thought to share it here.

The core of DevOps is not a difficult or complex concept. More or less, it’s the idea that developers and operations should collaborate more closely than they traditionally have, so neither side is caught with their pants down when something blows up.

That’s it! Of course, there are additional ideas…

Inference and Learning - BigData

#Inference and #Learning - #BigData

Given a statistical model and data, inference allow you to “infer” useful generalization (hypothesis). Probabilistic inference typically means calculating posterior distribution given the data. For example, presence of spider web (data/evidence) may increase the likelihood that no one has used that door for sometime (hypothesis).

Learning, on the other hand, implies learning the connection…

WebSockets and WebRTC - A quick intro

#WebSockets and #WebRTC - A quick intro

There is some misconception around WebSockets and WebRTC – like when and where to use, which one is better etc. If we know the reason behind developing these technologies, opting apt one for our use will be pretty easy.

So, let us understand why they are developed first.

WebRTC is designed for high-performance, high quality communication of video, audio and arbitrary data. In other words, for…

Using Array.prototype.filter() with arguments

Using Array.prototype.filter() with arguments

In JavaScript, the filter() method is used to search for array items which satisfy the condition that is passed to it. Technically this method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function. But there is a confusion around how to use it with arguments. For example, we want to search for an employee with id = 101 in an array of employee objects.

Let…
